YACHT is a lot of things. It's partly a fun, awesome band from Portland, Oregon, but it's also a genre-and-media-spanning life project who's music is cosigned by electronic perfectionists DFA.

In 2007, YACHT played more than 200 shows in 17 countries around the world, chasing album releases in North America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and China, and touring with such luminaries as LCD Soundsystem, Architecture in Helsinki, High Places, and Vampire Weekend. This year, YACHT hopes to double their stamina and play over 500 shows and in more unlikely places: on airplanes, in planetariums, underwater, and on the roofs, and/or bathrooms, of very large buildings.
